So annoyed and anger. 6 am phone call while where in car for 6 am surgery appointment.
Working yes . no c for me now my dad has it.
I did see that episode. They are also using a variation of the HIV virus in trials. Crazy that two of the scariest diseases of the past 100 years are now being used in cancer treatment.
The real breakthroughs are in genetic mapping and customized therapies. We are probably still decades away from a "cure", but the progress is there.
It has its issues, but the latest numbers I'm seeing are 16+ million people have signed up for the program. That number climbs every day. It's not perfect, but it's a step in the right direction nationally.
I have 2 friends who lost there Insurance as a result of the AHCA ,I'm sure that statistic is buried somewhere.
The new law makes it extremely difficult for the independent Docs to continue , herding them into groups.
The governments long term goal is Single payer system . I have no faith in the ablilty of Government to improve the system .
Moreover , it IS the law of the land andi have YET to hear any substantive methodolgies offered as replacemnt . Oh the PACS make noise but offer little in the way of progress ONLY repeal , no alternative plan . So it is white noise and U nlikely to to do much morethan tinker aroundthe edges of policy.
The Aca has made it extremely difficult for rural and small community and small city hospitals to have a positive margin . The regulatory creep and the denial management practices of many insurance companies only exacerbate the situation .
That said , coverage hasbeen extended to many and pre existing conditions no longer legally can be a barrier to coverage.

Reality i have yet to see any politician with the will to offer reasonable alternatives NOR face the wrath of those who under any repeal attempt would lose personal coverage ,
As a 22 yr hospital board member and board officer who has receuited physicians , the culture for physicians changed several years ago .
DOCS want to be employed now. The " new generation " DOC no longer wants t o assume either the overhead nor the time committments that the MARK WELBY generation practitioners did . This phenomena is NOT limited to the medical profession . Many institutions most notably higher education , nonprofits and other industries have been morphing as a result of teh cultural mores of the "New Generation Workforce "
That's what I keep saying, if you don't like it, propose something better!!
